Hi, I’m Jackie! I live in the picturesque hills of Valley Head, Alabama where I create charming spaces of graceful living and hospitality.

I am a hospitality director and community engagement consultant, event planner, and writer with a heart for creating settings of beauty, connection, and communication. I’m currently working on a self-published “warm welcome” devotional collection to encourage those facing tender seasons.

I’ve organized community events and outreach initiatives in the Birmingham Metro area and in Florida for women looking for friendship, connection, and enrichment. I have also received a community award for my Life Skills Project, which helped marginalized women thrive in Florida. I co-authored a book for young women focused on identity and resilience, reaching several hundred readers, and created many values-based curriculum resources. In my work, I’ve built digital and strategic marketing initiatives that inspire hope and resilience among women in my community.

My family and I now live in the country on 12 acres in the sweet town of Valley Head, Alabama with our black lab Emma Rose, Beatrice Buns our English Spot Rabbit, two horses and a goat. On our farm, I focus on writing, hospitality, new community initiatives, gathering together, nature, collecting mud boots & aprons, antiquing, art, cooking, gardening, and home styling.
